| Carly Simon - Film Noir Band: Carly Simon Play this CD,and your World changes to Black/White Play this CD,and your World changes to Black and White.It takes you back to the post war days. When I get a CD,I Love to read the linner notes,and see who wrote the Music and Words,also the musicians.I couldn't beleive Frank Sinatra co-wrote "I'm a fool to want you." This song is fantastic. I have alot more respect for old blue eyes for writing such a wonderfull song.But my favorite,"Lili Marlene." You will see Marlena Dietrich in your room singing this song to the troops.The American's and the German's both cherished this record while the War was going on. "Don't smoke in Bed" I wouldn't want to mess with this Women. They way Carly sings this,you'll never be able to Fall asleep again."Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye" I hear this song everytime I step into a Mall. What a great tune. This should have been a top ten hit. John Travolta sounds nice in the "Two Sleepy People" duet,.but Jimmy Webb is wonderfull in the "Spring will be a little Late This year" You won't be dissapointed buying this CD. Thank you again Carly. Film Noir Ranks On Top As "Classic Carly" I agree with the other reviewer, this CD is getting worn out by the laser on my CD Player due to over-play, too. It's funny, but as time goes by, you find that certain CD's remain in your "always play" CD file, and this album is one of them. My Favorite tracks on this album are "Every Time We Say Goodbye", and Frank Loesser's "Spring Will Be A Little Late This Year",which was recorded as a duet with Jimmy Webb and vocally delivered in a simple, honest way. Another one of My Favorite songs, and arrangements on Carly's album is her rendition of "Laura" (nominated for a Grammy a couple of years ago, but lost). By the way, if you get into 'film noir', and Love the "Laura" theme, then get the new CD release called "Silver Screen Serenades" by 'cabaret' artist, Michael Poss. It contains a full-string arrangement to the lost Love theme to Hitchcock's "Marnie". Both, Carly's and Michael Poss' arrangements emote the same mysterious, 'film noir' feel for the true movie Love theme buffs. Carly's got class, always had it, and always will. I hope she climbs on top of all the music charts again, with her newest CD release. By the way, I loved "Two Sleepy People" which was intended to be delivered in a cute "sleepy" way by John Travolta and Carly Simon. Great CD! Wow! This is an exceptional album. "Ev'ry time we say Goodbye" is the absolute best rendition of this Cole Porter song that I have ever heard..worth the price for that song alone. But the other songs are almost as memorable. Including the albums only original song "Film Noir" which Carly co-wrote with Jimmy Webb. This is a wonderfully produced and arranged album and surely any Carly fan or lover of 40's music can't help but enjoy this. Booklet contains Black and White photos of Carly, and a 3 Page essay by Martin Scorcese.
